Alan Elliott, DW’s head of Responsive Repairs: “We are expecting to see some fantastic benefits from Localz for our clients, their tenants, and also for our own employees. Implementing Localz will make our end-customers’ lives easier, will reduce call wait times, and increase first-time access rates – all the while improving the overall customer experience for tenants.
